The Obama-Biden team has a site, http://change.gov/openforquestions where you can submit or vote for questions for the new administration to address. In the Health Care section, it is surprising how few votes questions about alternative medicine have been received (the most is 189) compared to questions about other issues such as single-payer systems (several thousand).

I urge you to go to this website, register and login. Then, click on the Health Care button, and search for questions with the words “Alternative Medicine.” Once you get to these questions, vote for as many as you like. If enough people vote for one or more of these questions, it will appear high on the overall health care list, signaling the administration that this is a priority issue.
